Yup, no appearing on minimap.

That's why spotting is so important now.

Too bad no-one really bothers.

I feel like the instant I spawn I am spotted and remain spotted until I die, whereas my team never spots anyone. :pac:

Really love the cluster f##k that 64 player operations is, never had as much fun or laughs playing a game till last night, played three different operations with the same team, it was the only squad I could join and I got lucky, before I even deployed I got a party invite from them, asked me what class would I run, told me drop the repair tool for the mortar, they spotted the attackers coming in I got the job of hitting them with the mortar, we won quite easily till they got the airship, that blew up every AA gun first then us no mater where we took cover, the only strange thing was there would be an attacker just in front of us before we could even shoot him he would disappear happened once that I seen and the others seen twice more, how would that be possible?

Flare gun for scout class shows people up on the map in an area around where it lands.

Thats also where that red indicator showing enemy direction comes from. Theres also one of the aircraft kits that lights up an area by dropping flares.

Never liked HC in any BF game. I dont think it requires any more or less skill,but it does slow the game down a bit too much for me.

There's a lack of info on the HUD in BF1 compared to BF4, and it improves it imo. More chaos, more excitement. I think they were right to revise the spotting in the game too.

Went back to BF4 to do the M1911 "battlefest" mini grind to get the skin / dog tag..! Now I can happily uninstall it and focus back on BF1!

Was a funny game. I was only supposed to hang around for the 25 kills (even though I had already done the 100 kills mission beforehand).
Just forgot how funny locker pistols can be.
After the 25 kills I just took the pi$$ for the round trying to backrage or barging into the groups seeing what sort of damage I could do. Ended up hanging around for 2k tickets for the craic :pac:

Yea spotting is ok now, or would be at least if they just fixed it to work properly. At least 1/3 time, nothing spots right now which gets annoying.
But I like it better that you dont appear on the map when shooting. Too much of a giveaway.

You should turn on the kill feed man, especially the option for players nearby.

I thought it was done on purpose, to make it harder, that you have to be very precise with it or it won't work (?)

When I initially started my BF4 tactic of spotting the f*ck out of anything that moved BF1 told me to stop spamming it, and it would wear down Made me lauugh

That directed at me? Kinda like the lack of info tbh, more immersion.

Love this game so much though, it's so much fun.

Is there any 'Premium' content available as of yet?

Well I've litereally been scoped dead on people and it's taken 3 or 4 hits to actually light them up. And it happens every game. I've heard of lots others saying the same. Maybe it is intentional. Dunno, but it's annoying AF.
I agree that you shouldn't be able to just swing 360s spamming Q to light everything up, but a dead on scope should be first time.

yeah, happens a lot, even more so if they're farther away. like, if I can see him and track his movement to keep hitting spot, it should register.

For a start whos upset? really? lol

You don't have to track targets [as in keep your crosshair/ironsight/scope on the target for longer than a nano second] like you do in normal, why your even debating that is beyond me.

Yea, yea you do actually. You are still commenting from the perspective of a sniper, where a hit in HC mode almost always guarantees a kill. You still need to track the target and you still need to get multiple hits for most weapons. In Normal mode you need to track more, but I don't believe I disputed that, so backpedal all you want

Everyone camps in hardcore is an overstatement, yeah possibly but while you and your squad run around PTFO you will see half the server camping, so yeah maybe a bit of an overstatement but I assumed gamers got my meaning.

If you enjoy that gameplay more power to you.

You had an issue with another poster generalizing yet it's ok for you to do it? The game play can be both annoying and enjoyable depending on how the round goes, pretty much the same as normal mode but the big attraction for some people is the realism. Hard core is not for everybody, but it shouldn't be slated based on your dislike for it.

No man it was for Stone Deaf 4evr after I watched his video, sorry should have quoted him.

I'd love to see Dice implement a restriction on the number of Scouts/Snipers allowed in Conquest.
Whatever about TDM, in Conquest they just have to hide and watch the bases for easy kills. That's not PTFO at all.
I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying it but I don't care, Snipers are battle shy. There's no better better feeling than sneaking up on one and introducing him to my trench shovel.

In fairness I see where you're coming from but I don't agree. That would mean the occasional time that I want to play as one I wouldn't be able to because the slots would be constantly filled by hill campers.

It would also remove my favourite BF hobby. On maps like Empires Edge there's that hill with the cross on it overlooking C where there's always a little hive of snipers. I get endless pleasure from taking a wide berth and strolling up behind them before taking my time to decide how I want to murder them. Medal wants me to get 5 headshots with revolvers? Well there's a free one. Need one more tripwire kill for a service star? Ok then. Etc.

Very valid points indeed, I know that Snipers are a necessary evil, especially in a WW1 setting.
I just wish there weren't so many of the gits in Conquest though.
There is no better sight than when you're standing behind a prone one alright though!

I thought spotting has a cool down so people cant spam?

Next time your looking to spot someone dont spam,if they dont spot the first time wait a second or two before trying again. That works for me

There is in Custom games use the filters to find class limited servers.

But as Maximus said it can be tough if you want to be a sniper.

Just saying, that balance patch was desperately needed to stop Scythia from dominating the planet before turn 100.

Back to Battlefield: The patch seems to have reduced some bugs but still having issues with being revived and being unable to use my gun.

Also I've had a deployment glitch which I've never experienced anything like before.

This video is pre-patch but it happened twice last night in completely different circumstances (as I'm sure it had something to do with the Behemoth this time) which I didn't record.

Has anyone else experienced this or something similar?

Headshot

Now I haven't had the time to play for awhile but its the weekend, time to chill out

Turn on BF1 and the flickering is awful

Turns out they ****ed up the patch for SLI and crossfire users

Nice job guys

I have never deployed in a plane so could not tell you mate, it did happen the odd time for tanks but has not happened to me in a while.

When I pick deployment for a vehicle I never touch the keyboard until I am in the tank and it has not happened since ( I use to hold the W up ready to go)
